Ten Penney Nail

By truckerrs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Ten Penney Nail I used to watch TV Wondering what I'd be Maybe Roy, Gene or Bowie Didn't know who, But a cowboy was for me. Every Saturday morning, They were there to teach me How to rope n' ride n' sing But most of all they taught me The value of truth n' honesty Now in my dreams they ride Beside me everyday Yes Stoney, Wild Bill, n' Kit They lead me on the trail These ol' boys, are straight as a ten penney nail. Where will those behind Find their hero Nothing measures up to The guys from the big screen So sad to be caught in between Now in my dreams they ride Beside me everyday Yes, Hoppy, Rex, n' Cisco They lead me on the trail These ol' boys are straight as a ten penney nail.
